Pacific War is a Strategic wargame that takes you from the attack on Pearl Harbor to the climatic summer of 1945. . . from Australia to China. . .from Burma to Hawaii. . .from the defense of Wake Island through the invasion of Guadalcanal, culminating in the desperate battles to defend the Japanese Home Islands.
For the first time in a Pacific Theater game, size, subtlety, and ease of play has come together in a game of sharp action and historical accuracy.
Pacific War is a game of limitless challenge and excitement for anyone ever fascinated with the fury and vastness of the war in the Pacific. The game includes over 2000 counters that represent individual capital ships, cruiser divisions, destroyer squadrons, aircraft groups, and land units ranging from battalions to division to corps, with all units individually rated based on their historic performance.
At its core, Pacific War‘s game system allows you to fight detailed carrier strikes (sequential and simultaneous) with night surface naval actions (float planes, gunfire, and torpedo salvos) integrated with large scale ground offensives on the Asian mainland (e.g., Malaya, Burma, and China) and of course amphibious invasions (e.g., Java, Guadalcanal, and Leyte). If you are looking for a detailed and interactive operational simulation of the War in the Pacific, this is the game for you!
